Counseling and Compliance Training

We believe we can best serve our clients by anticipating and resolving employment issues before they ripen into litigation. Our team takes a creative approach to counseling which includes fixed-fee retainer agreements that provide clients access to timely advice on day-to-day workplace legal issues.

We help clients develop in-house training programs on workplace issues and conduct audits of personnel policies, wage and hour compliance, and hiring, promotion and compensation practices. We also conduct comprehensive risk assessments, designed to uncover and solve employment law compliance issues and work with clients to develop appropriate prevention programs.

Conducted a series of “lessons learned” training sessions for in-house managers and HR professionals following the successful resolution of a multi-plaintiff employment litigation against a major university.

Developed training for a national financial services company on topics such as sexual harassment, the ADA and wage and hour laws. A fixed retainer agreement gave the client’s HR professionals the option to contact us any time on emerging employment matters.
